Hotkeys in IDE?

[Hinder]

How do I set up hotkeys or macro's in the vb.net IDE so that I can insert things like...

    '''-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ''' <summary>
    ''' This is the summary
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="Name"></param>
    ''' <param name=></param>
    ''' <remarks>
    ''' </remarks>
    ''' <history>
    ''' </history>
    '''-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would suck to have to type this in each time I need it. I know there's a way to do it so I can hit a key and it will insert the template..

Anyone?

Hinder ...

I know it is not the answer you most desire (you're looking for a software approach), but I bought a half a dozen Gateway 2000 programmable keyboards through eBay for $15 apiece. They are absolutely wonderful and it is trivial to program them for this type of function. It is nice to have a consistent feel when moving from machine to machine, and I have never had one fail ... they have been around for a LONG time!

If you want more information, just let me know.

Hi.

If you make a macro to insert the text, you can assign a shortcut key in "Tools - Options"
In the "Environment" tab select "Keyboard"
In the middle section, scroll down until you get to Macros, and you should see your macro in there. Select it, and assign a key.

Hope it helps.
